    Beautiful and affordable venue!

    A huge THANK YOU to the wonderful staff at Port Gamble Weddings & Events!!! The venue is GORGEOUS and affordable. It does get booked frequently because of this, so reserve ASAP. We booked the Church and had a tent outside. It was absolutely charming. Gorgeous photographs. Their staff was extremely helpful and patient (I emailed about a bazillion times and asked a bunch of questions). They do have quite a few rules, so be sure to check-in with them before you buy/order something -- they do their BEST to accommodate though :-) Mr Eric is very sweet and friendly!! Also heads up, their aisle is pretty small, but you can still fit down it ;-) Would absolutely recommend to couples looking to tie the knot!

    Perfect Winter Wedding

    Port Gamble Weddings was the perfect place for us to host our wedding. Throughout the entire process, the entire team at this venue was very responsive and went out of their way to make sure our event was a success. During our wedding weekend, they were readily available to help us with last minute changes. Even with a large Christmas event going on at the same time as our wedding, we experienced no issues. I would recommend them to everyone looking to get married in this area. It would be hard to beat the value they offer to couples.

    Port Gamble Weddings's reply:

    Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong,
    Thank you so much for the kind words. We are so happy to hear that you had a great experience. That's what we strive for! We hope you'll stop in and say hello next time you visit Port Gamble!

    Sincerely,
    Port Gamble Weddings & Events Team

    Hallmark Level Wedding Magic

    My husband and I found Port Gamble on a roadtrip on day. It is a beautiful little town very similar to a hallmark movie. The price was reasonable, the team was extremely helpful and flexible, and everything went as smoothly as possible. Eric was in contact with us since the day we saw the venue and was there during our rehearsal, working with all of our other vendors and helping guide us. The venue has a preferred vendor list which we found extremely helpful. I highly, highly suggest this venue and the people associated.

    Port Gamble Weddings's reply:

    We are truly thankful for your kind words! It was our honor to help with your special day in Port Gamble. We wish you the very best in your new life journey!

    Our guests loved this venue

    I don't know what else to say other than AMAZING. Gorgeous view of the water, great staff to work with, and always answered any questions I had quickly. Very professional and helpful with everything. There's a reason why this venue books out so far in advance!!

    Thank you for a beautiful day!

    I got married in St. Paul's church two months ago (to the day!) and I LOVED it! The church is so classic and beautiful, you hardly need decor. The staff is helpful and available for questions throughout the planning process. They provide a vendor list that they've worked with, which makes the rest of the hiring much more simple. The pavilion is a perfect place for a reception and if you have the luck of also getting the tent it extra fabulous! When my husband and I were looking for venues, we were originally looking in Seattle because that's where we live. But Port Gamble charmed us and felt just right. We had family and friends coming from all over the country so they got to experience the true magic of the PNW! I'm so happy with our wedding day and the beauty, charm, and kindness of Port Gamble and the events crew was such a huge part. Thank you!!

    Port Gamble Weddings's reply:

    Thank you for the kind review Maria! We enjoyed working with you and Jordan for your special day in Port Gamble. We are so glad you had a great experience. We hope to see you two hanging around in Port Gamble soon!

    All the best,
    Port Gamble Weddings & Events Team

    I got married at the Pavilion in Port Gamble in the grass overlooking the water. It was absolutely gorgeous. This venue goes the extra mile to make sure your wedding is everything you want. They’re very professional and have great ideas if you need help.

    We absolutely loved working with the Port Gamble team! Not to mention it's a stunning wedding venue! We did most of our wedding planning from across the US, and the entire team was amazing to work with, very responsive, and totally understanding of our unique long-distance situation. We worked mostly with Eric, including 2 venue walk-throughs, who was always so accommodating and friendly. He also is very responsive via email! Our wedding day went off without a hitch, due in part to Port Gamble staff being nearby or on-site all day and helping us plan an amazing event. If you're thinking about getting married in Port Gamble, we highly recommend it!

    I can't say enough about how wonderful this venue is. There is an indoor pavilion with French doors, lovely outside lawn ad gardens, and a beautiful 40 x 70 reception tent. We used them all! Eric and Elizabeth were wonderful to work with and the wedding exceeded our expectations.

    I would give Port Gamble Weddings and Eric TEN stars if I could. We had a whole list of venues we needed to check out when I flew into the area for a wedding planning visit. We went to Port Gamble first, and stopped there - we didn't look at a single other one. The Hood Canal Vista Pavilion was perfect. It allowed for outdoor weddings with an indoor option available in case of rain (which it did of course). Eric, Pete, and Stephanie are all incredibly helpful and responsive. Eric even walked around to different spots to send me photos of the beachy areas in Port Gamble once I had left. Planning a wedding from out of state is incredibly hard and these guys made it so easy, which I really appreciate. The ground are beautiful and all of my out of state guests loved it here. Best yet, it was the least inexpensive venue on our list and allowed us the vendor flexibility (read, pizza truck catering) that we wanted.

    Dear Jordan,
    Thank you so much for the kind words! Everything you said in your review is why we do things the way we do. We want to make it as easy as possible for our Brides & Grooms. The team here loves to know our work pays off and we are so happy for you guys!

    From my very first meeting with Stephanie, to my wedding day with Eric as our event coordinator, everything went so smoothly with Port Gamble. Planning and coordinating truly was a breeze. Everything involving Port Gamble's staff was professional, and their experience with event planning really shows when they have an answer to all of your questions.
    The church is so beautiful, and the Hood Canal Vista Pavilion has the perfect set up for any kind of weather, and an incredible view to go with your plans.
    I was married on 2/18/18, and I had hoped for a snowy day from the day we booked Port Gamble. I was incredibly lucky to have not only snow, but also have the weather clear up in the afternoon. I couldn't be happier with my choice to go with Port Gamble Weddings, and I highly recommend it to anyone getting married!
    Thank you Pete, Eric and Stephanie!

    Port Gamble Weddings's reply:

    Caileigh, thank you so much for such a glowing review! It was an absolute pleasure working with you, and we're honored that you chose Port Gamble for your wedding day. We wish you and Daniel the best!

    We got married on 11/18/17 and this was the perfect venue! We lucked out with the weather so no one got wet moving from the chapel after the ceremony to the pavilion. The chapel was perfect and the pavilion was the perfect spot to hold the reception. Eric and his team were very responsive and helped with lots of extra details. Thank you to all the staff at Port Gamble weddings for making our day such a success!

    Port Gamble Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words and great review of Port Gamble Weddings and Events!!! We love our jobs and helping great couples like you to have their perfect wedding day! Congratulations on your wedding, it was fun!

    We are thrilled that we chose to get married in Port Gamble! We got married in the Chapel and had our reception in the Pavilion. Our coordinator from Port Gamble, Stephanie, really went above and beyond for us. She was quick to respond to any of our questions leading up to our wedding and was willing to make our requests a possibility. Our wedding was stress free and so much fun! Port Gamble was by far the best choice for us!

    Selecting a venue can be a nerve wracking process but not when working with Port Gamble. The team we worked with was incredibly sweet, professional and easy to work with. The venue was well maintained, easily accessible and absolutely stunning for our brunch reception. We were blessed with beautiful weather both the day we toured the venue and the day of our reception and let me tell you, that view is picturesque. We found our guest outside often snapping their own couple and family photos. You can't help but love the high ceilings, beams and gorgeous stone fireplace. This venue is beautiful on it's own but the right team takes a gorgeous venue and creates YOUR special setting. Love this place!

    Port Gamble Weddings is an amazing vendor!! Our weddin on October 15 was just absolutely wonderful! Throughout the whole time staff was helpful and courteous! The wedding was beautiful regardless of the impending storm. The staff and the manager had prepared with a generator and tremendous amount of batteries and lights in the event we lost power due to the storm so we felt comfortable that no matter what we would have music, lights, food and the fireplace for a source of heat. We never lost power and everything went perfectly smooth but it was just brilliant that staff had thought of everything and was there for us.

    I recommend Port Gamble Weddings to anyone who is looking for a beautiful venue that would make planning a breeze and photography shots naturally gorgeous.

    Port Gamble Weddings played a huge role in making our wedding day absolute perfect! Their staff made sure everything was ready the day of, and they were always available for questions or viewings leading up to the wedding day. They also set us up with a plan A, B, and C according to weather. This was one of a few locations that was able to do this because they have a lawn, and tent, and a building. Not to mention the location is breath taking a beautiful!

    Working with the Port Gamble Weddings staff made planning our destination wedding a breeze! They were so helpful and quick to respond to all of the questions/comments/concerns that come up with planning a wedding. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure our special day went off without a hitch. Our wedding was the same day as the annual Port Gamble County Christmas Festival, and we were so impressed with how well the Port Gamble Weddings staff was able to balance coordinating their festivities and making sure we were taken care of at the same time. Many of our guests also complimented how beautiful the venue was, how it looked so clean and pristine, and how friendly the staff was to them. I would highly recommend this venue to any bride looking to have an intimate wedding at a beautiful and unique location.

    We recently got married at Port Gamble's St. Paul's Church for our ceremony and had our reception at the Port Gamble hood canal vista pavilion. Let me just say that you will not find a more friendly and helpful venue team to work with. This gorgeous town will be a venue that not only you and your soon to be husband/wife will never forget, but also all of your guests will never forget how special Port Gamble is. The entire town is like out of a book, its just beautiful. With getting marriend in the fall, I can assure you that this venue is gorgeous at literally any time of the year. A huge shout out to Julie and Dionne for being so helpful and just making our wedding a day my husband and I will cherish forever!

    We got married on September 2013 in the charming town of Port Gamble with the ceremony at St. Paul's Church and reception at the Hood Canal Vista Pavilion. Julie, Pete and staff were helpful and responsive during the planning process and were accommodating the day of, going above and beyond to make our day as seamless as possible. Our guests gushed about the gorgeous location with the breathtaking view of the water and the cutest chapel there ever was. One of our favorite memories was ringing the church bell after the ceremony and hearing our loved ones cheer. We had such a wonderful day and a large part of that was due to the venue. If you are looking for a truly unique experience that is classy, gorgeous and charming then look no further than Port Gamble Weddings.

    Our wedding in Port Gamble at St. Paul's church and our ceremony at the Pavilion were incredible and the staff that supported us throughout it all were excellent. Not only did they provide us with so many answers and bits of information throughout the planning process, they provided great support on the day of and really really wonderful support during the rehearsal and the ceremony itself - a special shout out to Pete for being so reliable, informative and helpful on our wedding weekend - he was the shining star of the whole weekend. In addition to the staff being excellent, the venues are just stunning and make for a lovely, lovely wedding.

    Port Gamble Weddings was a joy to work with throughout the whole planning process! There were no last minute surprises or extra fees. Everything as discussed and expected. Timely, transparent and professional.

    The venue itself is quaint, gorgeous, Pacific Northwest, elegant, airy and just plain magical. At the initial visit, we decided instantly to get married at St. Paul's and have our reception at the Pavillion.

    Working with the team was amazing. Kelly was very helpful, super responsive and open to our needs. I love that Port Gamble partners with AA rentals and picks up all linens, dishes, glasses, flatware etc. the day before the wedding and sets everything up for the party. Including 4 high chairs for us!

    The final paperwork in April was very thorough and prompted us to think about all important details.
    The rehearsal the day before the wedding was well coordinated and guided by Pete from Port Gamble Weddings. He had a lot of good suggestions and in hindsight we are glad he took charge and gave us a lot of good tips and hints.

    The chapel and the pavillion offer a great soundsystem, which we used with our I-phone for ceremony and reception music.

    On wedding day, Pete and Kelly were at the chapel to queue and help and give hints. Queues were needed for the wedding party to time their walk down the aisle and for the music to be coordinated. I remember them being dressed very nice and being just as excited and happy as we were.

    Staff was also present throughout the ceremony throughout the evening without being intrusive. We didn't have many questions, but they were there when we needed them.

    All interactions throughout the whole process were marked by professionalism, flexibility, responsiveness and genuine kindness. Everybody we encountered was very personable and easy to get along with. No question was left unanswered and things were explained patiently and never rushed.
